Tea Cakes

Book Club Meeting #3

The third book in our book club series is The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls. I could write a 1000 words on why I loved this book, but I'll save my discussion about it for tomorrow night. My girls are coming over for some appetizers, dessert, and great dialogue and debate about the book. I decided to get a head start on the baking and prepare dessert tonight. I may make some brownies as well tomorrow, but for now, I will share the tea cakes I made. I bought this pan last weekend at our "Gift Card Date Night." I think they turned out cute, but I'm not thrilled with the recipe for the petits fours that came with the pan. They taste fine, but they don't really wow me. I topped the cakes with a rose flavored icing that I think makes up for the cake part being simply acceptable. I may try using a different petits fours recipe next time. We'll see. I'm curious to see how these would turn out with a brownie recipe.

Welcome!

My name is Alison, and I'm married to an impossibly handsome man who makes me laugh constantly. He's super supportive of my baking endeavors as he gets to be my taste tester and have the "messups." And there are plenty of cake disasters!
